It all depends if I have read the manga or not. If I have, I tend to skip fillers cause they don't go to the story. But if I've never read the manga, then I don't know if it's a filler or not so I'm fine with them.

As others said, very little and they have to be good. I like fillers that add more rather than take away and that I can't totally tell they're fillers. Definite no-no to filler arcs because they are always terrible. I mean, have there ever been good filler arcs?

90% of pokemon fans hate/dislike Pikachu, if you are one of the 10% who don't, copy and paste this in your signature (started by Rukario907) ~Treasure Fighter (Kiyomaro's Theme)~ and Fuji Syuusuke ~ClaimedMy Journey Log of Pokemon WhiteWarning: General jerkiness and sarcasm abound. Of course, spoilers as well.

I liked the Apis Arc of One Piece for what it was worth.

You got that right! The Legend of Korra is returning on October 3rd! Mark your calendars!

I used to be like that, then I noticed what was filler and what wasn't and started skipping.

Bleach does the same thing. Big fights are going on and then suddenly there's a huge break and the story shifts to some alternate reality.

Sgt. Frog's a better example if you're looking for a show with filler. Loads of filler, not to mention the tone and situations are cranked down for the little ones.

Yeah, the Anime is significantly toned down from the Manga in terms of content. It's practically TV-Y7-FV in US terms. Would be if not for a certain single mother named after a certain season...

In any case, it certainly has load of filler considering how the Manga is episodic enough to fit in their own stories. That and the Manga started in 1999 and the Anime started in 2004 (which cause an issue with Angol Mois's introduction that was worked around.

The image of the Sawsbuck I got in my head after you mentioned her (at the time this was typed, I was EV training a Dearling)...Don't know why the Japanese put that in their kids' cartoons.

Anyways, for the sake of an example, the Simpsons has shown with the odd bout of mature material and references here and there but has proven to be kid friendly a good amount of the time. There's also Funimation's amazing (in terms of performance) dub which is full of unfitting slurs towards American pop culture (which are usually put downs) to consider, thus it's a PG-rating (which is the rating on the DVDs) for you, toad. Sad they dropped it in the middle of season 2 (the end of season 3 in their case), there were so many better places to stop but business is business.

Couldn't agree more but it does start to get noticeable what's from source and what's not when the quality of the episodes overall goes downhill, the odd great episode would pop up and is what most likely kept me coming back from beginning to end.

Did they make an official word on that? I mean, people thought Season 2 (second half of Season 1 really) was the end (given Episode 51, it would've been fitting for what it was worth) but along came season 3. I just don't want to jump to conclusions.

I don't have an official article either but when I talked to a good majority of the English cast while getting my DVDs signed, they all said it was dropped due to it selling poorly. Oh well, anyways, back onto the topic at hand. With the show's absurdity and silliness (as well as a great portrayal of the source material), I found Sgt. Frog's fillers worked for it until the quality started to slip.
